Pillows and pillow cases

Bath and hand towels

Toiletries

A small amount of cutlery and crockery

Basic utensils

Please refer to the handbook to find out what items are not allowed in halls.

Adapted Accommodation

UCLan has a number of specially adapted rooms on campus and you will be given extra consideration if you have a disability or medical condition that requires you to live on campus.

A number of rooms in halls of residence offer one or more of the following:

Specially adapted bathroom

Emergency pull cord in bedroom

Red flashing lights for D/deaf students

Alerter systems for D/deaf students

Private shower

Kitchens designed for wheelchair users

If a Social Services assessment identifies you as needing assistance with daily living, personal assistants may be accommodated. If they are in University accommodation you must sign their contract on their behalf.

Assistance dogs can be accommodated.

You must declare your disability or medical condition in your UCAS application. You will be asked to provide testimony from your doctor or medical practitioner, confirming the disability or medical condition and whether it will impact on independent living in a residential hall environment.

Please ensure you send the testimony and a covering letter from yourself as soon as possible after submitting your application in order to avoid delays in processing.

Testimony does not need to be provided for UCAS codes 01/51 - Dyslexia/Dyspraxia/ADHD –applications.
